Hello everybody! I had an abusive relationship in college and some of it happened at night which is probably why i stay awake at night and sleep during the day. At least thats part of the reason. I try so hard to get my schedule back in order, but nothing is changing. My ex and i slept together while we were still dating (no sex) and im not sure if he molested me more while i was asleep. If this is so is there any way my body could remember it without me actually knowing that it happened. Im just trying to pinpoint why i cant sleep at night. Does anyone else have this problem?

You sort of answered your own question.

Does anyone else have this problem?

I have a horrid time sleeping. A lot of it is due to what i had to do, and what was done to me was done after dark (most of it at and after midnight).

But a lot of it is also just being dark, unable to see, have to close your eyes. Its all very frightening.
 
Yes, your body can have memories that you've suppressed. I strongly recommend that you speak with a therapist for answers to your concerns, and to recover from any trauma you've suffered.

Good luck in your recovery!

Had some horrible things done to me by my husband. Just shocked about it all. Believe l slept heavy due to whatever this man put in my food. But l have decided to get out of fear stage. But l do have nightmares about him.
